Suckers Produce Apples`
A freak of nature was shown in
the shape of a couple of apple tree
suckers loaded with fruit. For the
benefit of those not familiar with
the term a "sucker" is a small
straight shoot which comes out of

generally considered desirable that
they be cut off. The strange exhibit
came from a tree at thehome of
